Did you know when your face blushes so does your stomach lining

It's a fascinating fact, and you're well-informed. When you blush, the rosy hue isn't just limited to your cheeks. The increased blood flow that causes your face to redden extends to your stomach lining as well.

Here's a breakdown of why it happens:

• Blushing Basics: When you experience emotions like embarrassment, shyness, or sometimes even anger, your sympathetic nervous system activates. This system controls your body's "fight-or-flight" response.
• Blood Rush: As part of this response, your heart rate increases, and your blood vessels dilate (widen). This allows more blood to flow to certain areas of your body, like your limbs, to prepare for potential action.
• The Blushing Effect: The increased blood flow also affects the tiny blood vessels in your face, causing them to dilate and become more visible. This is what gives your cheeks that flushed appearance.
• Internal Blush: Interestingly, the same blood vessel dilation happens in the mucous membrane lining your stomach.

While you can't see this internal blush, it's a physiological response triggered by the same nervous system activity.
So next time you feel a blush coming on, remember, your stomach might be joining the fun too!
